Our Philosophy

• At TII, we believe hands-on training should be the cornerstone of every technical training program. Our customers agree!
  
  
• Studies prove that hands-on training creates the highest learning retention rate among adult employees. People recall:
  • 25% of what they hear,
  • 45% of what they see, and
  • 70% of what they do!
  
  
• All of TII's training programs follow a three-step READ/SHOW/DO training method. This in-depth combination of coursework, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises achieves the greatest retention rate, which in turn improves productivity.
  
  
• With TII's training systems, you can look forward to increased worker satisfaction, more productive employees, and, ultimately, dramatic savings to your company.

Our Specialized Education Programs

In Oklahoma, TII's hydraulics, mechanisms, pneumatics, and robotics trainers are part of almost every junior high and high school program which has been upgraded from industrial arts to industrial technology. Over 50 schools have been upgraded by the state in the past four years.

Mississippi's "Diversified Technologies" program has developed expensive technology education programs in 45 of the state's high schools. Over the past three years the state has purchased and installed complete Fundamentals of Technology systems and has recently supplemented these basic systems by adding Explorer Series products to all 45 schools.

TII recently helped California launch a program for disseminating technology education information among the more than 1,000 high schools in the southern half of the state. State officials invited 23 industrial arts teachers to participate in a week-long seminar aimed at introducing teachers to the methods of technology education.

In the Midwest, Pittsburg Middle School's "Explorations in Technology" model program is viewed by many in technical education as the future of industrial arts programs in America. Many of the schools in Kansas (including Pittsburg Middle School), Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa have purchased TII's products to outfit their technology laboratories.

Connecticut has appropriated funds for upgrading the programs at eight large vocational schools. TII recently worked with the second of the eight schools in developing a combination of Fundamentals of Technology and Explorer Series product laboratories.

In Canada as well, the Catholic School system of Ontario has recently upgraded many of its technology education facilities to include Fundamentals of Technology and Explorer Series products. TII's products meet or exceed all of Canada's import/safety criteria and complement the country's well-established technology curriculum.
